it looks cool, but I would rather see the app opening instantly instead of using that little impractical menu to avoid seeing a "loading" screen, not to mention it goes away if you don't use it constantly so you are getting stressed while deciding what song to listen to

i would rather have persistent play/ pause back and forward icons on the lock screen and have the album art as the lock wallpaper that fades into the regular set lock-screen wallpaper coming down hear the time and notifications area.
